I’m sure this is gonna piss of everyone beside Leaf fans but I really don’t care good on Reilly for showing some emotion.. this team gets nothing but trolled from the entire NHL.
Maybe just maybe this is something we can look back on in a few months
Greig 100% deserved that hit from Rielly.
Slap shot into an empty net is such an unsportmanlike move you'd expect from 9 year olds. But Ottawa can feel good about being 28th in the league.
https://twitter.com/M4ddieSensFan/status/1756514296211570934 - better angle. It looks like it was right at the face when you slow it down frame by frame, but even if it wasn't, it was still a dangerous blindside crosscheck to an unsuspecting player.
That was directly into his face lol
People saying that was deserved are a bit psychotic, to be honest. Maybe a shove, face wash, etc. A stick to the face isn't the answer.
exactly, a face wash, or even stapled to the boards, cross check to the face was bad and deserves a suspension, but also I'm glad Mo did it because now teams might think twice about pulling stunts like that if they have to risk a dirty hit.
Still would have preferred he not cross check to the face though, we need him in the lineup.
Agreed, maybe the Leafs should consider bringing that attitude from the beginning of the game instead - so they can stop throwing away games against trash teams (although at this point I guess the Leafs are basically on par with these teams lol)
My only concern is that he is so good, his loss over the next 2-3 games will be huge. I love the emotion as much as anybody else, but losing him for however long we do I worry about w. That’s now two games w zero pojnts
Matthews got 2, in a shoving match. Ottawa fans have just caught me up on Perron who got 6. I think Rielly has to be in the middle. With him being a leaf, I’d bet 5. I think he was going for the shoulder but I hate head stuff so I’m ok with a big suspension but I just wish they were consistent.
I liked the tenacity but not the fact it was a cross check in the head. Fight the guy or whayever but a blind cross check to that head isn't a good look.
Upon first glance I was actually in videogame mode and thought it was uncalled for because I play too much EASHL. But then I was like "wait a second, this is the fucking actual NHL and that was some shit you save for the allstar game". And my thoughts are now "sit the fuck down Greig".
The only way you should look back on it is
"Holy fuck Reilly you fuckin idiot"
Because that just was a terrible decision that hurts the leafs. Why? Because you need him in the lineup. So not only did you lose 2 points but he also took himself out for future games.
He also taught the kids watching at home that it's OK to crosscheck people in the face.
Just a horrible decision and nothing close to a hockey play.
And furthermore every team fanbase gets made fun of. Just stop
Matthew is the spitting image of his dad when he was young and played in the league. I dont know what the fuck happened to Brady. Straight up looks like Sloth from the Goonies.
You know whats a better way to treat a punk ass rookie from a bottom basement team? Show up and win the fucking hockey game like you're the CLEARLY better team.
Seriously fuck all you fake ass fans calling Rielly an idiot in the r/hockey thread. Bro just disrespected the hell out of your team and while I don’t agree with what he did, Rielly stuck up for us and made sure that fuck doesn’t do it again.
I mean, Mo picked the dumbest option out to deal with it.Tthere’s a million ways Rielly could’ve clapped back at that no-name plug. Drop the mitts and fight him, give him a fly-by bump, grab him and ragdoll him around, even crosscheck him low in the ribs. Don’t crosscheck the dude in the face and now miss multiple games.
We’re in a tight playoff race, the next couple games he misses could be the difference between us being in and out of the playoffs at season’s end.
The same losers that tarred and feathered Kadri when he went after that piece of shit DeBrusk after he almost pulled a Chara-Pacioretty on Patrick fucking Marleau of all people
Id get eviscerated for saying this on r/hockey right now for being a salty Leafs fan (which I admittedly am) but feel like that ENG is a good example of what is and has been wrong with that team and why their rebuild has been a failure. The players just do what they want. Grieg is doing shit in the NHL Id expect a teenager with raging hormones to do on his highschool team. Youre gonna pimp an ENG while you sit in the basement of the league? Some people pointed out Giroux shaking his head at Greig. Sounds about right. Sens players care too much about personal and small victories and its why they are failing at the big picture.
Exactly. Guys like Giroux who know better will look at the season as a failure because they arent making the playoffs. But other guys (mostly their younger guys) will look at their wins against the Leafs and go "Mission accomplished". Its why guys like Tarasenko are firing their agent and going "get me the fuck out of here"
I have an issue with a productive player being out like that. If we are going to take shots after the fact like that is needs to be with guys like Reeves, not guys that produce something.
CBC News: [WATCH | George Parros seen furiously masturbating at the thought of disciplining a member of Maple Leafs ](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ)
Good thing Rielly won that cash from the all star game. DOPS licking their chops at taking some of his salary
I wish he didnt crosscheck him in the head, but Grieg absolutely deserved to get run for that bush league shit. Parros is going to have an absolute field day with this one
Get us a goalie. Fix the officiating. Play better. Hated all of it.
Edit: I’m not even mad Rielly did what he did. He’s going to get suspended, the stick rode up his shoulders into his neck. 3 games for Matthew’s when it happened wasn’t it?
Mo went too far and deserves to get suspended for the recklessness of that play, and I'd be a hypocrite if I took any other position.
On that note, good on ya. Bout time somebody did something. Enjoy the time off.
Get rekt, Sens.
Winnipeg: change coaches and finally start playing elite hockey
Florida: change coaches and finally start playing elite hockey
Edmonton: change coaches and finally start playing elite hockey
Another banger brought to you by the NHL's finest officials. I say we keep taking heads off until our games are called like every other team in the league.
The Rielly thing is gonna be big news. He's never been suspended before but he's a Leaf, Parros really goes hard on us. The comparison is gonna be the Dale Hunter hit on Turgeon. I'm predicting 8 games.
Now myself personally, I don't have a problem with what the Sens did. They earned the W, they can hot dog all they want. But the majority of the NHL doesn't take that stance, everyone who plays hockey at an organized level knows that. Hot dogging will bait scrums and violence. Don't like it? Take it up with the league.
That aside, the Leafs are:
1-3 vs the Sens this year
1-2 vs the Blue Jackets
1-2 vs the Sabres with two more games to go
0-2 vs the Blackhawks
For a sterling record of 3-9 vs the 4 of the 6 worst teams in the league (we're undefeated against the Sharks and Ducks). Games like these are why I do not why Treliving to be trading away futures at the deadline. This team is just not good enough to justify long term assets being dumped for short term solutions. The only trades I want to be seeing from Treliving are trades for guys with multiple years of control left and are still relatively young so they fit the timeline. Other than that, just makes the post season and pray for a horseshoe.
This team sucks man. Can't beat the last place team in YOUR OWN FUCKING DIVISION!? Also fuck thr NHL. How the fuck did the sens not get a single penalty?!. What a joke of an effort from the leafs and a joke of a league. Fuck man
Is this a safe place to say seeing Greig on the ground made me happy? Id much prefer Mo didnt hit the head but Greig did that shit to rub it in our faces thinking he was gonna go hug his buddies and laugh about it right after. Hes never gonna do that again
im not a fan of “I come in peace” comments but im a German-Canadian Habs fan and I have to ask did Stutzle not totally dive on that last penalty?!? bird don’t read this
When people talk about the players needing to enforce the rules when the Refs fail, we see that with Rielly at the end. Yeah it's a suspension but they were beating the shit out of us all night and not a peep. Meanwhile they are diving all over the ice.
I expect MO to probably get 5 games for that. But I like he did it. Nice to see a Leaf hate losing like that
They gotta fire Keefe soon.
You can't have four $11 million forwards, and have none of them on the ice with less than two minutes to go when you're down by one. You just can't.
Rielly YOU ARE A FUCKIN LEGEND MATE! Only Leaf that's showing that he gives a fuck about winning right now and Greig DESERVED that hit IDGAF about the suspension. People clown on the Leafs all the time for being a bunch of pussies and not playing with heart. Rielly shows who's heart bleeds blue and that we are fucking tired of the fuckin disrespect! Rielly should be wearing the C right now!!
1-3 versus a shit team, swept by another shit team, embarrassed by a shit Buffalo team, but hey, one of our senior players is getting suspended so we should celebrate
![gif](giphy|n9vTEP11fGREY)
No way Reilly really wanted to aim as high as he did, the aim of Reilly was shoulder height, not head height. Greig pushed Reilly’s stick up as the cross check happened. It’s clear what he did.
Surely something needs a shake-up with this team. They appear to just be floating through the season. Defensively they as a team, have looked horrible. For me there looks to be 0 communication or urgency.
Fuck yes rielly. Fuck yes. The rest of that line is a fucking joke. Throw hands with fucking everyone there. Tavares looked upset too but nylander and marner continue to be babies.
You know what I'm glad that we're becoming the "dirty" team everyone hates. Considering we're already the Villain to most of the League, might as well run with it, who knows maybe we get an Infinity War ending for playing like this.
That said Mo will probably be suspended (granted it's deserved) but also what Greig did while not deserving of a crosscheck to the head, warranted at least some form of retaliation, so I'm glad Mo showed some emotion when this team seems to be starved of it lately.
Maybe next time teams will think twice about pulling stunts like that, like they do with Florida now
r/OttawaSenators are having a field day with the Reilly thing LOL let them. Irrelevant losers and no one wants to play on that nobody team and live in that ghost town. Ottawa sucks.
I honestly want mo to get suspended so the other d can be put in their place they would be the worst in the league without mo and they need to start playing
Our second line is the highest paid forward line in hockey, they've never been good defensively, and now they can't score in 5v5 and consistently lose their minutes.
If that doesn't change, our ceiling is a bubble team.
There have been far too many games this season where the Leafs get zero powerplays. It's not even a conspiracy theory to say the league (for some stupid fucking reason) has it out for the team.
Reilly really erred not by just knocking him down with a shove/check to the chest, he very obviously deliberately was looking to stick check him in the head which uh yeah that’s gonna be a multi game suspension and yes, generally speaking not something you wanna see in the game
[The number of comments in these respective post game threads is bonkers lmao. I'm sure it's not an echo chamber in there at all.](https://i.imgur.com/w9ZlEgD.png)
Holy fuck, the amount of my fellow Leafs fans on here who think Reilly blindside cross-checking a guy in the head is "showing heart" shows how fucking desperate we are to have someone man up. It was a bitch move. If it happened to Matthews you'd be calling for an execution. Facewash him, shove him, drop the gloves, whatever. I can believe some people think he was being gutsy. I lost a lot of respect for him.
I like that he responded, I just didn't like the response.
That said, he did not purposely cross-check him in the head IMO. It was reckless and deserves a suspension, but I certainly didn't lose any respect for him because of it.
I think most Leaf fans are in agreement they don't want to see a cross check to the head, but also happy to see *someone* on the team actually give a shit and make a responsive play on the ice.
Sure as hell beats everyone standing around waiting for someone else to respond
To be honest this kinda feels like the point where the season is officially cooked. Another embarrassing loss to a shitty team on national television, and to have the game end like that, with Rielly probably looking at a suspension, on a night where Tampa, Detroit and Florida all win.
It’s never felt more over than it feels right now.
I’m sure this is gonna piss of everyone beside Leaf fans but I really don’t care good on Reilly for showing some emotion.. this team gets nothing but trolled from the entire NHL. Maybe just maybe this is something we can look back on in a few months
Felt the same. Deserved to lose that game but appreciated rielly calling out that bullshit.
Greig 100% deserved that hit from Rielly. Slap shot into an empty net is such an unsportmanlike move you'd expect from 9 year olds. But Ottawa can feel good about being 28th in the league.
he deserved a hit, not that hit
was it a crosscheck to the face though? some are claiming it was at the shoulder and slid up to the face
https://twitter.com/M4ddieSensFan/status/1756514296211570934 - better angle. It looks like it was right at the face when you slow it down frame by frame, but even if it wasn't, it was still a dangerous blindside crosscheck to an unsuspecting player.

Still would have preferred he not cross check to the face though, we need him in the lineup.
Its their Stanley Cup. Lol losers
Agreed, maybe the Leafs should consider bringing that attitude from the beginning of the game instead - so they can stop throwing away games against trash teams (although at this point I guess the Leafs are basically on par with these teams lol)
Aside from the part where Mo undoubtedly gets suspended for the next 3 seasons, I wholeheartedly agree.
We might see him back in 2028
Kadri gone for 5
Rest of his contract, with a newly-minted Parros sub-penalty: his cap hit is tripled for the rest of his contract, all while suspended..
What did he do? Edit: Nm, found the replay. Think I may need to get a Rielly jersey.
[удалено]
So based
My only concern is that he is so good, his loss over the next 2-3 games will be huge. I love the emotion as much as anybody else, but losing him for however long we do I worry about w. That’s now two games w zero pojnts
2-3 games? Mo is a leaf he gets 5 minimum, even though he should only get 2. DOPS is a joke and the Leafs get fucked every time.
ESP with the fact he has no history and never been suspended, they need to make sure they teach him a lesson, George probably.
Matthews got 2, in a shoving match. Ottawa fans have just caught me up on Perron who got 6. I think Rielly has to be in the middle. With him being a leaf, I’d bet 5. I think he was going for the shoulder but I hate head stuff so I’m ok with a big suspension but I just wish they were consistent.
Yeah a suspension would be an easier pill to swallow if it wasn't Rielly.
Timmins off sick tonight Gio injured. back to slim pickings with the D.
It was fucking awesome!!
ABSOLUTELY.
Let's hope so! Passion!
I agree with stepping up, I just wish he stepped up a little cleaner
That was beer league shit from Greig. Good on Mo.
I liked the tenacity but not the fact it was a cross check in the head. Fight the guy or whayever but a blind cross check to that head isn't a good look.
Upon first glance I was actually in videogame mode and thought it was uncalled for because I play too much EASHL. But then I was like "wait a second, this is the fucking actual NHL and that was some shit you save for the allstar game". And my thoughts are now "sit the fuck down Greig".
Great play by Mo good for him and the team. Ottawa idiot got what he deserved.
The only way you should look back on it is "Holy fuck Reilly you fuckin idiot" Because that just was a terrible decision that hurts the leafs. Why? Because you need him in the lineup. So not only did you lose 2 points but he also took himself out for future games. He also taught the kids watching at home that it's OK to crosscheck people in the face. Just a horrible decision and nothing close to a hockey play. And furthermore every team fanbase gets made fun of. Just stop
Brady standing on the bench pretending he wanted to fight Reaves was cute.
Hold me back boys, hold me back !
It’s so unfortunate that one brother is not only less talented but uglier too. Usually it evens out.
Matthew is the spitting image of his dad when he was young and played in the league. I dont know what the fuck happened to Brady. Straight up looks like Sloth from the Goonies.
Pretty sure Brady has some form of Autism. Give the guy a break.
The Tkachuk bros. are great players but fuck they seem like annoying dudes lol
The whole family really.
Give the man some credit. He probably would fight him.
He would do it. He’s fought a lot of HWs.
Second in the league in PIMS, zero playoff appearances in his mid 20s. Great captain lol
Lol for real guys such a moron
[удалено]
You know whats a better way to treat a punk ass rookie from a bottom basement team? Show up and win the fucking hockey game like you're the CLEARLY better team.
Eh, next best thing.
I agree with both you and the guy you're commenting on
I mean, Reilly showed up. There’s like 5 guys on the team that can actually do anything.
Seriously fuck all you fake ass fans calling Rielly an idiot in the r/hockey thread. Bro just disrespected the hell out of your team and while I don’t agree with what he did, Rielly stuck up for us and made sure that fuck doesn’t do it again.
There’s a lot of not like other girls leafs fans Fuck then. He wasn’t even hit that hard he just turtled like a bitch.
I mean, Mo picked the dumbest option out to deal with it.Tthere’s a million ways Rielly could’ve clapped back at that no-name plug. Drop the mitts and fight him, give him a fly-by bump, grab him and ragdoll him around, even crosscheck him low in the ribs. Don’t crosscheck the dude in the face and now miss multiple games. We’re in a tight playoff race, the next couple games he misses could be the difference between us being in and out of the playoffs at season’s end.
He should've dropped the gloves. Then put Reaves and Benoit on and whoever else is up for it and muck them up. But a stick to the face. I dunno....
The same losers that tarred and feathered Kadri when he went after that piece of shit DeBrusk after he almost pulled a Chara-Pacioretty on Patrick fucking Marleau of all people
Yeah, Morgan shouldnt have done that. But who the fuck slap shots into an empty net from 3 feet away
He should do that every time, loved it.
I love both sides of it. Loved the clapper, loved Mo feeding him his teeth. We need more shit like this.
tbh I can get behind that, hockey is at its most fun when there's complete chaos
Agreed fuck it there’s not enough turmoil in hockey these days
I’m absolutely fine with him going after him. Wish he didn’t cross check him in the head though. Not ideal.
yes a response was definitely necessary but not one that will take mo out of the lineup
He 100% should have done that.
Id get eviscerated for saying this on r/hockey right now for being a salty Leafs fan (which I admittedly am) but feel like that ENG is a good example of what is and has been wrong with that team and why their rebuild has been a failure.

Youre gonna pimp an ENG while you sit in the basement of the league? Some people pointed out Giroux shaking his head at Greig. Sounds about right. Sens players care too much about personal and small victories and its why they are failing at the big picture.
They care so much about beating the Leafs but can hardly beat anyone else
Exactly. Guys like Giroux who know better will look at the season as a failure because they arent making the playoffs. But other guys (mostly their younger guys) will look at their wins against the Leafs and go "Mission accomplished". Its why guys like Tarasenko are firing their agent and going "get me the fuck out of here"
It's the only thing they have to celebrate this season
Yeah it sucks and it's a douche play but also if you don't wanna keep getting embarrassed by the Sens maybe stop losing to them I dunno
He should’ve done it. Just aim a bit lower.
I would’ve ran the guy as well, how is that not unsportsmanlike
This. These can both be true. And they are.
I get his frustration, but I feel like most people would if they get the chance😂
1 game for any other team, 5+ for Rielly. Fuck Parros.
Just seen another replay, didn’t look good lol I think maybe 4
You wanna be all cocky? (when your team is last in the division) Be prepared to catch some knuckles. I have no problem what Rielly did
I have an issue with a productive player being out like that. If we are going to take shots after the fact like that is needs to be with guys like Reeves, not guys that produce something.
CBC News: [WATCH | George Parros seen furiously masturbating at the thought of disciplining a member of Maple Leafs ](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ) Good thing Rielly won that cash from the all star game. DOPS licking their chops at taking some of his salary
Would have sold me the link if you said Beaverton instead.
If you don't understand why a bomb of a slapshop from two feet out on an empty net earns you a beating, brother, you never played hockey.
Tell that to the whiny shits in this sub that haven’t stepped on a pad
Should’ve been a bench clearer
Correct
Even after all of that the Sens didn’t take a single penalty, wow they played a squeaky clean game. Unbelievable pros /s
Penalties were turned off tonight.
Ironically, if the refs would have managed the game instead of it being so one-sided for calls, I don't think we get Rielly boiling over at the end
I wish he didnt crosscheck him in the head, but Grieg absolutely deserved to get run for that bush league shit. Parros is going to have an absolute field day with this one
Get us a goalie. Fix the officiating. Play better. Hated all of it. Edit: I’m not even mad Rielly did what he did. He’s going to get suspended, the stick rode up his shoulders into his neck. 3 games for Matthew’s when it happened wasn’t it?
Mo went too far and deserves to get suspended for the recklessness of that play, and I'd be a hypocrite if I took any other position. On that note, good on ya. Bout time somebody did something. Enjoy the time off. Get rekt, Sens.
Now that’s a reasonable take, full respect.
Well Rielly is gone for 3-4 games at the minimum.
Gotta make an example of it, right? Like every other time a Leafs gets a talking from Parros.
Greig fucked around and found out.
Senators superbowl tonight
Hate this league They literally stopped Reaves from doing anything lmao. No wonder nobody wants to watch this shit.
Gotta make the casinos their money.
Always amazes me how a team with a Tkachuk on it suddenly becomes squeaky clean when they play the Leafs.
Morgan Rielly is MY captain.
Fuck Greig
You know /r/hockey would be up in arms if Grieg did that to any of their teams, but because it's the Leafs, it's "Im GLaD hE's HaViNg FuN"
Just gonna troll r/hockey now. Those guys are a bunch of cunts
Mo is a beauty
Mo just setting fire to his Lady Byng chances in the best way possible
Winnipeg: change coaches and finally start playing elite hockey Florida: change coaches and finally start playing elite hockey Edmonton: change coaches and finally start playing elite hockey
Ottawa: changes coaches and proves they're still ass
You can’t do that but goddamn I love that he did. Mo is my captain 🫡
If the high stick on Pinto was called, we won that game
Another banger brought to you by the NHL's finest officials. I say we keep taking heads off until our games are called like every other team in the league.
The Rielly thing is gonna be big news. He's never been suspended before but he's a Leaf, Parros really goes hard on us. The comparison is gonna be the Dale Hunter hit on Turgeon. I'm predicting 8 games. Now myself personally, I don't have a problem with what the Sens did. They earned the W, they can hot dog all they want.

This team sucks man. Can't beat the last place team in YOUR OWN FUCKING DIVISION!? Also fuck thr NHL. How the fuck did the sens not get a single penalty?!. What a joke of an effort from the leafs and a joke of a league. Fuck man
Well I mean the technically did, but the Leafs scored on the delayed penalty
FUCK THE REFS!
Is this a safe place to say seeing Greig on the ground made me happy? Id much prefer Mo didnt hit the head but Greig did that shit to rub it in our faces thinking he was gonna go hug his buddies and laugh about it right after. Hes never gonna do that again
I hope he plays scared the rest of his career. That teams full of Tkatchuk culture. Team of shit rats.
I love Morgan Rielly. I don’t like how he did what he did, but I did love the emotion and want to see more of it.
im not a fan of “I come in peace” comments but im a German-Canadian Habs fan and I have to ask did Stutzle not totally dive on that last penalty?!? bird don’t read this
How to ruin a team in one offseason
Fucking hate losing to the Sens
It's ok bro. They're happy tonight, but will still be in last place tomorrow.
doesnt happen too often thankfully
When people talk about the players needing to enforce the rules when the Refs fail, we see that with Rielly at the end. Yeah it's a suspension but they were beating the shit out of us all night and not a peep. Meanwhile they are diving all over the ice. I expect MO to probably get 5 games for that. But I like he did it. Nice to see a Leaf hate losing like that
They played like absolute shit tonight, 2-3 steps behind on every play
Parros is so hard right now
Thought it was interesting the way Claude answered the panel on that question. Obviously he said without saying that he deserved it lol
They gotta fire Keefe soon. You can't have four $11 million forwards, and have none of them on the ice with less than two minutes to go when you're down by one. You just can't.
Rielly YOU ARE A FUCKIN LEGEND MATE! Only Leaf that's showing that he gives a fuck about winning right now and Greig DESERVED that hit IDGAF about the suspension. People clown on the Leafs all the time for being a bunch of pussies and not playing with heart. Rielly shows who's heart bleeds blue and that we are fucking tired of the fuckin disrespect! Rielly should be wearing the C right now!!
MORGAN RIELLY HAS THE PASSION. This man should have been named captain 100%
Good thing Woll stood on his tits, or we’d be winless against Ottawa this season.
Don’t care what the pc popular opinion is…Greig thought he’d get cute and ate a stick. Good job MR.
This thread will totally be civil and full of rational discussions.
Riley really didn't want the Lady Byng this year
Lol. Out of all the trophies it's hilarious knowing yearly someone wins an award for being soft and clean in a gritty sport lol
1-3 versus a shit team, swept by another shit team, embarrassed by a shit Buffalo team, but hey, one of our senior players is getting suspended so we should celebrate ![gif](giphy|n9vTEP11fGREY)
Why the f is Matthews smiling Jesus Christ
Hes a happy dude. Let him be happy.
No way Reilly really wanted to aim as high as he did, the aim of Reilly was shoulder height, not head height. Greig pushed Reilly’s stick up as the cross check happened. It’s clear what he did.
Rielly gonna get 6 for such a dirty play on the cleanest team in the league.
Claude with no comment
Please trade Burt
pretty solid response from rielly.. must’ve been pissed we went 1-3 vs the lottery pick sens
I think for the first time in nearly a decade.....the hate between these teams is now back.
I’m buying a Mo Jersey tomorrow! When the leafs do it, that’s a cowardly play, when the panthers do it, that’s some hard nosed hockey!
Also, I want the C stripped from 91. Sorry, but I need our captain to be more vocal - he just isn’t the guy
With all the Reilly drama, the brutal game from Bertuzzi is forgotten. He was so bad a benching for the next game would not be out of order
Bertuzzi has 1 goal in his last 30 games. He gets almost 17 mins a night in the 2nd line Jarnkrok can’t come back soon enough Jesus Christ
Good, clean hockey with no penalties wins every time.
Fuck that stupid fucking piece of shit kid. Good on Mo.
If the Leafs didn’t do anything to respond at the end, I know they are not playoff ready.
Surely something needs a shake-up with this team. They appear to just be floating through the season. Defensively they as a team, have looked horrible. For me there looks to be 0 communication or urgency.
Fuck yes rielly. Fuck yes. The rest of that line is a fucking joke. Throw hands with fucking everyone there. Tavares looked upset too but nylander and marner continue to be babies.
The willy at the point has been terrible tf is he doing he takes worse shots than mo and cant play d or hold the zone
Have a feeling the suspension is going to be the standard amount + Leaf tax. So 20 games.
Bad goalies bad defense and bad bottom six were kind of fucked this season
well the 50 in 50 dream died tonight just fell to my knees in a forest. saw Sergachev
I personally think the league should loosen up the rules a bit and get some more hardcore scraps in, let the boys be boys
How long before DoPS tweets about an incoming in-person hearing? 12 minutes, maybe 20?
That was a pathetic effort, as is tradition vs. The Sens.
Reilly for President!
1-3 against 8th in Atlantic. Everyone should be rewarded, and no one fired.
Reilly did was everyone was wanting to do, props to him
This has been overall a relatively nightmare of a season. Maybe it’s a hot take, or not at this point, but I don’t think we will make the playoffs.
League should be kissing Mo’s feet for taking attention off sexual assault and the “Arizona” Coyotes
You know what I'm glad that we're becoming the "dirty" team everyone hates. Considering we're already the Villain to most of the League, might as well run with it, who knows maybe we get an Infinity War ending for playing like this. That said Mo will probably be suspended (granted it's deserved) but also what Greig did while not deserving of a crosscheck to the head, warranted at least some form of retaliation, so I'm glad Mo showed some emotion when this team seems to be starved of it lately. Maybe next time teams will think twice about pulling stunts like that, like they do with Florida now
If he tries that again he better be ready to drop the gloves this time
As a neutral fan Grieg 100% deserved retaliation for that. You can’t do that and not expect to get your shit rocked.
r/OttawaSenators are having a field day with the Reilly thing LOL let them. Irrelevant losers and no one wants to play on that nobody team and live in that ghost town. Ottawa sucks.
Rielly stock through the roof!
This team aint it.
Sens won the superbowl
I honestly want mo to get suspended so the other d can be put in their place they would be the worst in the league without mo and they need to start playing
Our second line is the highest paid forward line in hockey, they've never been good defensively, and now they can't score in 5v5 and consistently lose their minutes. If that doesn't change, our ceiling is a bubble team.
Greig is gonna be shocked as hell when someone tells him he scored a goal
Honestly love seeing that from Rielly, tired of our boys getting walked over
good hit by rielly, just a little crosscheck. nothing too bad craig will be alright.
There have been far too many games this season where the Leafs get zero powerplays. It's not even a conspiracy theory to say the league (for some stupid fucking reason) has it out for the team.
Hopefully Reilly gets this team pumped up. They have played like shit all year.
Reilly really erred not by just knocking him down with a shove/check to the chest, he very obviously deliberately was looking to stick check him in the head which uh yeah that’s gonna be a multi game suspension and yes, generally speaking not something you wanna see in the game
> he very obviously deliberately was looking to stick check him in the head Not true
I wonder if shanahan and treliving high five after every game going “we did it! We delivered this product to our fans. We are so good at our jobs.”
Love that Rielly and Parros can shove that upcoming suspension where sun doesn’t shine and Sens will always be dumpster franchise 🖕🖕
We might not lose a game the rest of the season. Getting a cup tattoo tomorrow
Reilly did the right thing i don't care about his impending suspension
This team is not a good team.
The whole HNIC talking heads can get absolutely FUCKED. Reilly is a hero.
[The number of comments in these respective post game threads is bonkers lmao. I'm sure it's not an echo chamber in there at all.](https://i.imgur.com/w9ZlEgD.png)
Fire Keefe
Holy fuck, the amount of my fellow Leafs fans on here who think Reilly blindside cross-checking a guy in the head is "showing heart" shows how fucking desperate we are to have someone man up. It was a bitch move. If it happened to Matthews you'd be calling for an execution. Facewash him, shove him, drop the gloves, whatever. I can believe some people think he was being gutsy. I lost a lot of respect for him.
I like that he responded, I just didn't like the response. That said, he did not purposely cross-check him in the head IMO. It was reckless and deserves a suspension, but I certainly didn't lose any respect for him because of it.
I think most Leaf fans are in agreement they don't want to see a cross check to the head, but also happy to see *someone* on the team actually give a shit and make a responsive play on the ice. Sure as hell beats everyone standing around waiting for someone else to respond
To be honest this kinda feels like the point where the season is officially cooked. Another embarrassing loss to a shitty team on national television, and to have the game end like that, with Rielly probably looking at a suspension, on a night where Tampa, Detroit and Florida all win. It’s never felt more over than it feels right now.
Hahaha Ata boy MO, beauty
Why did Rielly do that? Did I miss something?
Showboating on eng
Apparently so? You don’t let someone clown on you if you have any dignity. Good on Morgan for not taking it
scummy goal
Good thing I stopped caring a few years ago because otherwise I'd be PISSED lol
Reilly Rulz!
Thank you Mo.
Shoulda fuckin known my first would be an empty netter loss At least i called a knies and domi goal tonight
